well, my partner and I went to the surgeon this morning. I wasn't expecting a fill (our surgeries were October 6th), but he thought it was a good idea. Mine was no problem. I have a 10 cc band and he put in 4 cc's. I feel no restriction at all, but we'll see what happens. My partner, on the other hand, had trouble. The doctor could not feel the port. He sent her for an x-ray to make sure it hadn't flipped. It hadn't, but it had tipped just enough and is under enough of her body that he couldn't feel it. He tried a couple more times and decided he would wait and do hers under fluoroscope. Made sense. She is, of course, very disappointed. He said that once he gets it the first time he does not anticipate any future problems. Anyone ever have this happen?
